Q22 :Hi

phone and its indeed a remarkable phone. Just a query which u
cud help me resolve. The PC suite for the SGH X700 does not have the
pixel image 176*220 in the create ur wallpaper section. If one wants to
crop any image jpg or gif from a larger pixel to 176*220, so that the
same can be pulled into the phone thro usb it cannot since it has pexel
size other than 176*220 hence the wallpaper would not cover ur entire
screen. Can u help me this regard. Also pl advice me where I can get a
small freeware where in I can reduce the pixel size of a still
or animation pics to 176*220. Awaiting ur reply on the same.

Hi Uday! The
Samsung
PC Studio
3.0 has image editor and you can adjust image size to 176 x
220 pixels. Just connect your mobile with PC through USB cable and open
PC Studio software. You will see "SGH-X700 Connected" message. Go to
"Manage Photos" section. This will load image editor. Now, if image is
on phone's memory, then select "Import from.... Phone" option which is
present on upper right corner of screen. You will see "Import from
phone" dialogue box. Select "SGH-X700" option present
on left side.
Now, you will see all folders of your mobile like " Images,
Videos, Sounds, Music, Other files" . Select "Images" folder then
"Photos" folder. You can see all mega pixel pics that you have taken
with your X700. Select any one and press "Import"
button. This will transfer the image to PC section . Now, enter album
name or just select OK button. You will see your desired
image. Double click on this image and you will see this image on bigger
size. On right side, there are some options like "Red eye, Brightness/
contrast, Saturation, Filter, Image Size, Crop". Just select "Image
size" option.
Now, select "Enter directly" option and enter "Width:176 and
Height:220". Remove check from "Constrain Proportions" and press OK .
Your new image has been resized. Transfer this new image into
your phone by pressing "To phone" button. Give any name to this image
and press OK. You will see "Search Folder" screen. Now, select folder

Q23
:Hi
Usman. My name is Tommy from Indonesia. I
have found your website really useful especially the tips and FAQ. Glad
if you can solve my problem. I just bought 2 Toshiba 1 GB MicroSD.
Since it's pretty complicated transfer mp3 files to MicroSD (using
Samsung PC Studio 3.1 to transfer 6 mp3 files from PC to X-700 internal
memory, and then move them to microSD).
I used a card reader (Card Reader All-in-1 USB 2.0 "My Logic") recently
bought 2 days ago, since this card reader doesn't have microSD slot, I
used the MicroSD adapter provided by Toshiba. The process runs very
fast, since this card reader is USB 2.0 compatible. I manage to copy
214 MB of mp3 (just by click and drag). After the process, I uplugged
the microSD and insert to my X-700.
Somehow, there's no External memory icon shows on top of the right
corner of the main screen. I check Menu-> File Manager. There's
no option for Memory card as well. I tried to turn off the phone,
unplugged and replugged the memory card, turn it on again. Still, can't
detect the MicroSD. I switch my MicroSD to my friend's phone (he use
Nokia N95). I used his MicroSD in my X-700, and manage to detect his
MicroSD. So does he, he used my MicroSD in his N95, and can play all of
my mp3 files.
I reformat to FAT or FAT32 and retransfer the mp3 files. Nothing works.
I try to used the other Toshiba MicroSD, since I bought 2. This one is
still empty. Somehow, it can be detect from my X-700. I still don't
know what to do next. I was wondering if you can help me to solve this
problem. Since I'm a music lover, I need your assistance badly. Waiting
for your reply.
When playing mp3 files, the speaker sound quality is awesome. Thanks to
X-700 stereo speaker.
Thanks in advance.

A23 :I
don’t know the compatibility of Toshiba cards with Samsung
X700. If your empty Toshiba card is still undetectable then try
“sanDisk” cards. These are fully compatible with
X700. Many users are using 1GB sanDisk cards on their X700 without any
problem.
You said, your X700 can detect your friend’s microSD card.
What is the brand name of your friend’s microSD card?
There is no need to use card reader. If memory card is detected by your
mobile then try this method to directly transfer files between PC and
memory card through USB cable:
Go to menu/ settings/ phone settings/ USB settings…. Select
mass storage option and press "save" soft key. and immediately you will
see a new removable disk in my computer. Just copy/paste files to PC or
from PC to X700's memory card.
For
full detailed
demonstration of this procedure, download this pdf guide and read from
page # 11 of this guide:
Q24 :Hi
Usman, I read in your website that samsung X700 supports "Dual SIM".
Actually how can we do that??? Does it require some kind of accsessory
for it???
SSS , (Dated :

A24 :You
can use 2 SIMs in your Samsung X700 at a time with the help of "General
double SIM card holder". This requires to cut SIM cards into
specialized size to fit into this holder. Insert this SIM card holder
into your mobile instead of SIM card. Once installed, you can switch
over one SIM to another by only selecting required SIM.
It's option will be there under Menu/ Applications/ Dual SIM Card .
There are options like SIM1, SIM2, Both on-line.
If the operating SIM is SIM1 and you have selected SIM2, then you will
see "SIM Refreshing" pop-up message on your Samsung X700 mobile and
then your mobile will be restarted and after that, your phone will be
switched over to second SIM2.
This "General double SIM card holder" is available in the market @ 150
pak rupees. I am using this SIM holder without any problem since last 4
months. Same kind of this SIM card holder is also available on internet . Visit this link : Double SIM Card Holder
Q25 :Dear
Usman, I read that the MP3 player's
playlist holds only upto 50 tracks..
and also the player supports only one playlist.. so what to do if i am
using a 512 MB card and having more than 100 tracks..? how to add all
those to the same playlist....?
Ajay , (Dated : 25 September, 2006)
A25 :
You can't add more than 50 audio files to the playlist. Make new
folders on
memory card and put 50 files in each folder and remove all files from
playlist. Then add next 50 files to playlist. This removing, adding
process hardly takes 5 / 6 seconds. You can play every file without
using playlist also.
Q26
:To
Usman! Could u plz tell me how to select and send many files together

It's so simple!.... Just open your desired folder either in
phone or memory card .... then select any file ( but do not open it)
and select "Options/send via ... bluetooth". A new screen will
appear.... Select every file which you want to send with
“check” on it's check box by pressing “i/ok”
button for each file.... OR if you want to send all files of this
folder, then press “Add All” button... then select
“Send” option.... and for complete procedure of file
transfer through bluetooth , read Security & Connectivity tips.
Thanks!
Q27
:Dear

earphones, when I listen to MP3 Player, or RADIO. Also, after I have
answered the call, to continue the music I have to press "play" again
for the prompt on the display. This is really bad feature; OR Any other

Q28
:Hi
Usman! I am using this phone for last 6 months. Wonderful
phone.
Best pricing. Not a complete phone, has some shortcoming but still
better than all other phones in this category even the category above
this. I am writing for this problem:
When
i opens the pictures folder in the memory card and browses throu it (or
any other folder) when i presses down button it takes about a second to
go down. It is very very slow. My freind has the same mobile but
it doesn't happen in his mobile. In his mobile, its very fast
browsing. I think my firmware is too old how do i update it. Please
help and keep up the nice work. You are really genius.

To solve slow navigation problem, transfer all
megapixel
or heavy sized images to PC, and change the image resolution to phone
screen resolution ...(i.e; 176 x 220 pixels) and then save again to
your memory card.... because there is no need to save heavy sized
images into mobile due to small screen of mobile.... Always save
megapixel images to PC or CD Rom for backup.... and you can set above
resolution images as full screen wallpapers! This is not a firmware
issue.... the slow navigation is only due to size of images.

The bitrate changing to higher one, cannot increase the mp3
volume....I have also tried secret menu settings to increase the
speaker's volume but did not find any difference in speaker's
volume.... Try “mp trim” freeware software to increase the
volume of mp3 files upto 40—50 % .... You can download this
software from mptrim The sound
quality of final mp3 file (played on X700 through speakers) is still
very good after increasing the volume level to +6dB.... but
distortion will be increased if trying to increase dB value....
